The news media have not put out all the facts as we know them.
Most of the public thinks she was on life support and a vegtable.
She is Catholic so makes her (right)
When you look closely at the situation, It looks like a sacrafice or orfering orchestrated for Easter. Research is under way on this topic.
If you're a man of principle, it's not about winning with them, it's about life.
Shalom.
So instead the Governor backed down ceding the traditional (and Constitutional) role of the Executive Branch as enforcer of law to a defiant judge whose role as an officer of the court is adjudication of the law. Nice!
The United States is but one court order away from a Holocaust.
Actually, if your guardian doesn't "want" you then you're "unwanted" which is a capital offense.
No matter how many other people may want you, you're screwed.
Shalom.
I think a lot of us are going to be doing this very soon. Now we see what can happen if we don't.
Judge Greer (or any judge) is state government. From the point the courts entered onward, it is solely a matter of checks and balances.
"Justice used to be blind. Now it is dead."
Very accurate. Might I suggest that this is a good tag line?
So if I point a gun at your head and a police officer stops me from pulling the trigger, that's an abuse of power?
Please tell me you don't hold elective office.
Shalom.
Another scary thought and I believe you are correct! Apparently once my children are married, I am no longer considered part of their family and in the eyes of some courts have no 'standing.' This is just mind-boggling to me.
Eventually, the high cost of medical care will bring this about. There will come a time that people past a certain age will not get revived when they crash.
I agree, but my post was actually about how no matter what side republicans take on ANY issue, they (dems, libs, lefties) will take the opposite view and scream that Bush is Hitler, etc.
Did you know they are making a re-make of Logan's Run?
From what I udnerstand, that defense failed at Nuremburg.
When the law is wrong, the people have a responsibility to do what is right.
Of course, that only applies when the moral law is understood as a fixed thing, not a relativistic sham.
Shalom.
I saw Joe Libberman on NBC sunday. Not bad for a Democrat
Liked what he said and for me the front runner for the next
election and I a Republican.
It is either that or act and do considerable harm to the political status of Republicans across the country.
Sadly, reality and politics do not always pay attention to constitutional roles, as much as we might like. Regardless of whether it would have been the governor's right to take such an action, liberals would have an opening to say that he went beyond his rights and duties, and the average man in the streets, who knows no better and believes everything is great unless someone is taking drastic action, will believe them.
And then we would be in a position where we could not get anything we want on our agenda done, because Democrats would be in control. Perception is everything.
How many died when Elian Gonzales was taken?
Let's not get irrational here.
Everyone who had guns was under the authority of the Executive. Nobody would have fired a shot.
Nobody.
Shalom.
Here we go, it's time for the ideologues to check in with their circular firing squad.
